Salam everyone,
OK, now did anyone find the solution for my problem. I
searched all the log files and I find no errors at
all.  I tried to run xinit command, it works fine but
the X screen is completely black and no window manager
works.  I need to get started with translation but I
can't because of this problem (Unfortunately, I can't
do anything with my Linux CDs because someone borrowed
it from me but didn't return them back and now he is
on vacation somewhere far away :-(     )
